President Bola Tinubu has reportedly summoned the Minister of Interior, Olubunmi Tunji-Ojo, to the Presidential Villa.

Tunji-Ojo is expected to meet the president on Tuesday afternoon at the Presidential Villa, Abuja, The Nation reports.

This is coming in the wake of his link to the alleged fraud involving the suspended Minister of Humanitarian Affairs, Betta Edu.
